We are so pleased to be showcasing an outstanding new body of work by Sabrina Tirvengdum and Mark Allred at our forthcoming group exhibition ‘Future Focus: New Terrain’ 16.10.23.

This new work expands on Sabrina’s personal exploration into diasporan identity and her Mauritian heritage through family archival photos, taking viewers on a transformative journey of self-discovery and introspection. Her ancestral research into the Indian indenture system led to the discovery of a surprising connection to a French aristocratic surname, prompting her to examine the implications of hidden family narratives carried through the generations. As with many patriarchal societies the burden of culture mostly affects women.

This investigative process seeks to uncover the family’s complex past through imagery alone, reminding us of photography’s power to describe the unseen and unsaid. Through the process of reimagining the past using AI generators and digital painting, Sabrina takes ownership. Dramatic new worlds are born that fuse real and altered realities, rebuilding the fractured figures within the frame and, in turn, her own past, present and future.

Parallel LDN together with Sabrina and Mark will donate 20% of the sales proceeds to We’re All Human (WAH) as their chosen organisation – a disabled-led organisation dedicated to advocating for disability justice and online accessibility.
